In this episode of the Why Not Today? Podcast, Leslie sits down with Heather McElrath, founder of Sandbox Communications, to talk about what it really looks like to build a business when you do not feel ready, resourced, or confident yet.

Heather shares her journey from losing her corporate job to juggling multiple roles just to survive, and the powerful mindset shift that allowed her to finally step fully into her business. This is a real and honest conversation about entrepreneurship, self-trust, burnout, and learning to listen to that quiet inner voice that says, “It’s time.”

If you have ever felt stuck in survival mode, questioned your timing, or wondered if you are cut out for entrepreneurship, this episode is for you. It is a reminder that courage is not loud or flashy. Sometimes courage is simply getting back up and choosing yourself again.

What You’ll Hear

• Why survival mode can quietly turn into a real business before you even realize it

• How trusting your gut and closing one door can open the right one

• Why you do not need to know everything before you start
